§ SIR HENRY WILLOUGHBYsaid, he wished to ask leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate and amend the Laws relating to Savings Banks. The provisions of the measure, which was in the nature of a Consolidation Bill and had been prepared with great care, in no way related to the large and difficult question of the conversion of the funds of savings banks, but only to the internal management of those institutions, and he believed it had the support of all parties interested in their management.
§ MR. ROEBUCKsaid, he would express a hope that in a subject of such importance care would be taken to print the Bill early, in order that hon. Members might fully understand its provisions before it came on for second reading.
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Bill to consolidate and amend the Laws relating to Savings Banks, ordered to be brought in by Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY and Mr. AYRTON.
§ Bill presented, and read 1°. [Bill 80.]
§ House adjourned at a quarter after Six o'clock.
